Hi everyone,

Does anyone know of the best way to clean the openings on the iphone? As we speak, I am using part of a nail clipper wrapped in cotton. Seems to work ok. Is this a lil anal-retentive? The dirt there just really bothers me when I perform my bi-weekly cleanings 😀

I know Im not the only one 😉
 
Q-tips with a touch of rubbing alcohol for sterilization 😉

I just hate buying the Q-tips. There's something about a grown man walking out of the store holding a box of Q-tips that's just not right. 😛
 
wow!

^ OCD??
 
I would use something that won't leave anything behind. Cotton can get caught and I would be concerned about losing contact. Can you use the screen cleaning cloth and poke it in with something? Maybe a cotton swab stick with the cotton removed? I would also hestitate using any liquids for fear of activating the moisture sensor.
